Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pathfinders of the Revolution: A Story of the Great March Into the Wilderness and Lake Region of New York in 1779 All this he did with the loss of only forty men, or one percent of his force. It is not the business of the story-teller to satisfy fully the questioners, to whom the historian should make answer, but to tell how the army went and came, and how the Continentals marched, fought, made paths and bridges, enjoyed themselves amid their toils, told stories around the camp-fire, and drew out from the friendly Oneidas the myths and lore of the Iroquois. Of the excitement of battle and how Claes Vrooman rescued the captives, his sister and betrothed, it has been his pleasant task to narrate. Utilizing the local traditions of New York´s lake region, many old letters, and local and ancestral traditions, he has shown also how the pathfinders of the Revolution opened the way for the civilization of the Empire State and the development of the great West. May we never forget the fathers of the Revolution and the days when they were young! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
